Default How do you clean your coolant reservoir?
Mine has some oil residue in it from when my oiler cooler died. I have no idea where to even begin the process of cleaning it? Also what does everyone use to clean their engine bays? THANKS

We used engine cleaner and water. You can get a new one from ECS for under $30.

Default See how much a new one costs
For some reason I think I heard they are not that expensive... Like under 20 bucks.

Take it out and clean it with degreaser then add new coolant. A gal of coolant is $20.

Can I just use coolant straight out of the bottle without mixing it with demineralized water?
